Hi,

I've a number of thin client applications that use PHP4 against Oracle 8.1.x and have had no problems at all.

If you want to achieve a degree of database transparancy (i.e. you want your web pages to be transportable to different database backends) you might want to consider ADODB (http://php.weblogs.com/) which provides a rather nice abstraction layer. However, you need to consider the trade-offs between a consistant and transportable database infrastructure vs the potential performance gains acheivable if you code for a dedicated RDBMS backend.

Anyway I think I've done my bit for the open source community ;)

Regards
